NOT GUILTY.

George Walker Acquitted of the Charge
of Horse Stealing Without the Case
Going to Trial.
Readers of The MINER will remember the
recent arrest of George Walker on a charge
of horse stealing, on complaint of VIM.
Durand. The facts in the case as learned
to-day are these: Walker was employed
by A. Delmore, a ranchman living east OF
Butte, to look up a pair Of horses which
had strayed away. Walker started in ON
the search and finding two animals which
Tailed with the description OF those for
which he was looking, drove them to the
ranch. He then came to Butte and pro-
ceeded thence to Anaconda where he secured
employment at the smelter. Meantime
Mr.. Durand began a search for his horses
aad finding them at DelmOre's ranch, after
ascertaining they had been taken there by
Walker, swore out a complaint against
him for horse stealing, being unaware OF
the circumstances under which they had
been taken to the ranch. Walker was
arrested at Anaconda and brought to Butte
where on motion of County Attorney
De Witt the case was dismissed, there
being nothing to sustain the charge OF
grand larceny. Walker is a hard-working,
Industrious German, whose friends at once
procured the services of w. Y. Pemberton
as counsel for the accused. His reputation
is of the best, and his acquittal a matter
OF right and justice. No stigma attaches
to his action as he simply labored under a
mistake, and had Mr.. Durand have under
the matters connected with the
taking up OF his animals, no arrest mould
have been made.

As was shown by The MINER special
from Helena yesterday morning, President
Davidson of the Fair and Racing Associa-
ton took decisive action to secure Q square
deal on the races. He should be honored
for bis manly course. It was just what we
had expected Of him. Whether Joe Wool
man was culpable of the offense alleged
against him we are not advised. He is a
very shrewd and successful m Anipulator of
race course events where his money is
wagered and trickery has been
attributed to him before, one con-
sbicuous case in Butte. But it
is difficult ITO establish allegations like
these. They can only be surmised by re.
suits reached. We do not know the merits
of the Helena case, but knowing Mr.. Da.
Wilson's conservatism and his honest de-
to have fair dealing, we feel
that he must have been we'll advised before
taking the course he did. We trust that in
future races on the Montana circuit Mr..
policy will prevail. There
should not be d suspicion OF unfairness in
these matters.

General Manager Van Horne says he Isl
favor Of the Building Of the Rad River line
because it will then have to share the 70
probabilities with his company OF
the foreign grain markets, and
the Manitoba weather, which we
must admit will be taking upon the new
company a heavy responsibility, especially
as to the wea ther. But the Red River line
will have strong support in its RESPONSE
bility. Back of the enterprise is not only
the Northern Pacific. but the Grand Trunk
of Canada as well. And still back OF these
great companies are the people OF Mani
toba, who are weary Of the all Canadian
monopoly and would have thatrelief which
can alone como Of competition. COMPETE
ton in transportation facilities is a sure
thing when q hardy and determined people
become so thoroughly aroused by their
wrongs as are the people OF the Province OF
Manitoba.

LOCAL MISCELLANY.

The Northern Pacific sleeping car for the

Coture & Leford's social hop last evening
was like it's predecessors. a success.
The clock-tower at the Court House was
illumined by electricity last night for the

The train from Helena last night brought
over ninety Butteites who stayed to see the
races out.
There will be q rattle this evening at 8
o'clock, at Renshaw Hall, for a fine heavy

The regular election OF the Miners Union
will take place at their hall on the first
Tuesday in September.
Dusty roads are the order of the dav
now, but that out to Meaderville is the
worst in this neighborhood, and, what is
worse, there is no help for it.
Magulre's Stock Company closed on Sat-
urday for the season. The accident to
Miss Edna Courtney at Helena, by which
her ankle was broken, left the mpan
without a leading lady.
High license doesn't scare Meaderyille.
Several new saloons have recently opened
there, and the revival of business in gen.

Messrs. Lippincott, De Witt, Mediation

Water Company in bettering the service SO
as to satisfy the public requirements is
fully set forth in cur local news columns.
It will be seen that the company is doing
all in it's power to perfect the system, and
is only delayed by the failure OF the twenty
ton Knowles pump to arrive. It was
shipped two weeks ago and should have
been here by this time. The wires are being
worked to locate the car containing it, and
the company expects to have it rounded
up and delivered with but little o delay.

general legislation IL to be introduced and
considered, the session will be prolonged
beyond the life contemplated in the call.
Whatever may be needed in the way OF new
legislation should be relegated to the leg
islature to be elected next fall on

ditions have greatly changed in
this Territory since the present legisla-

therefore, is clearly within the province Of
q Legislative body elected under those

interest what Governor Leslie shall say on
this subject in his message, which is o

and the House to-day. We hope that wis
dom may mark his message and that his
suggestions shall be respected by the legis-
lature to the degree that they may be wise.

AN ELECTRIC ENTERTAINMENT.

The signal station on Pixies Peak has
been turned ever to Harvard University and
. delegation OF distinguished bald headed
professors, with regulation dude eyeglasses,
made the ascent to take observations.
They had hardly reached the summit when
IN electrical exhibition was given them
which could but nave satisfied their scien-
tifc souls. A special thus describes the
scene: "While they were there a storm
arose, the clouds above and below dis
charging volumes of electricity. The very
air was charged with the subtle substance.
The electric lights sparkled all about the
persons OF the explorers, and they breathed
it in with every inhalation. 1t sparkled
and cracked upon their lips and should
ers, and was visible on their finger tips.
Strange miniature auroras formed and dis
solved all about them. It played about
every pointed object. and every bit of
metal was strongly magnetized. One OF the
visitors, q professor who had just
arrived, wore a large pair of specta-
cles. The electric sparks crackled about
them and could be seen running from his
ey les to his ars and thence darling into his
hair. He threw the spectacles off and
hurled them to the ground. The ladies OF
the party were paralyzed for the time being
and were laid out on the floor of the sta
tion." Were it not for the fact that the
veracious Sergeant O'Keefe had abdicated
the signal station on the summit of the
Peak, We would take this story with a
grain OF saline allowance. We understand
that the Sergeant has been engaged for the
season as advance agent of Eli Perkins and
will retail no more a from the sig.
nal station on Pixies Peak. But the
special who sent out this stuff is a good
substitute for the Sergeant at t%he.station.

"THAT'S MY MEAT!',
a Described by one of Bancroft's
Historians.

AAVOAy " la 4NAOAAOOA0 VAbAAAAAA O0A4AP r
a. Described by one Of Bancroft'l
Historians.
The following incident is given by Hubert
Howe Bancroft, as illustrative Of the early
days OF Montana, in his Popular Tribu.
nails. The quiet little town of Camp Tay.
lor was startled one day by the crack OF
several pistol shots in rapid succession.
The rumor quickly spread that there was
"a man for breakfast" and the excitement
became intense when the leaders pushed
into the house and saw a man stretched
upon the floor, breathing heavily, while his
head lay in a pool of blood that had
trickled from his ear. In one corner stood
a man holding a huge revolver in each
hand and glaring savagely at the intruders.
The situation was apparent at a glance:
murder had been committed; the victim
lay where he had fallen, and the criminal
stood at bay, ready to sell his life dearly if
anyone attempted to take him.
FEW OF THE COLDER e
the room, but at sight of the deadly re.
volvers brought to bear on them they
tumbled out again with more haste than
dignity. At length one of the crowd, for
getting the danger in his sympathy for the
dying man, entered the room to see if he
floor. "Get out of that or I'll blow the top
OF your damned head of. yelled the villain
in the corner; "That's my meat" and he
gave a startling emphasis to the command
bv a hot from his revolver. The HUMANE
tartan sprang from the room and out of
the house, and as he appeared upon the
street be wal greeted by a perfect fusilade
OF shots by the confederates of the MUIR
derer, which a~ccelera ted his flying feet to q
speed never before witnessed by the specta-
tors. Revolvers now began to be drawn
on all sides, and the murderer quickly saw
that unless he escaped to a more protected
position he would soon be riddled with
bullets. He made a dash for liberty, and
the crowd parted at once before his deadly
pistols. As he rushed along shots were
fired at him from all points, but he sue
ceeded in gaining the shelter of a stump
untouched. Once protected. he opened fire
upon the crowd with such rapidity that
everybody fled in terror, leaving the street
IN A MOMENT.
This excitement caused the citizens to
forget for a moment that a man lay dying
near at hand, but they soon recalled this
and as the way was now open they turned
to his assistance. Messengers were dis.
patched for surgical aid, and a number en-.
tered the room at once. The insensible
victim was still breathing. They examined
his body for the wound. but could not find
one. They concluded that the bullet must
have penetrated the brain through the ear,
and that they must necessarily await the
arrival of the surgeon. A committee was
appointed to capture the murderer, but
just as they were ready to start on their
undertaking they were greeted by a shout
OF boisterous laughter from the room where
the victim lay, telling them that something
was wrong. Closer examination showed
the affair to be a huge joke. The dying
man was merely dead-drunk and the blood
was only red ink.

THE FUTURE GREAT.

There are some doubling Thomases in
that tho Great Falls is to be tho rival of
tho twin cities Of st. Paul and Minneapolis.
These Thomas doubts ought to be dissi-
pated by q dissertation by a boomer from
tho Future Great which will be found in
our news columns. He Celebrates a ship
canal scheme and tunnel which doubly dis
counts the brightest dream OF De Lesseps,
and Eads in his lifetime. We trust now
that those who ha, 20 secuted the idea that
the Great Falls is destined to be the COM
mercial center of the world, will be con-
verified into true believers and followers OF
the faithful boomers of Great Falls. Butte
and it's reduction works should at once be
loaded on trucks and rolled on 10 their
destiny over the Manitoba grade. Helena,
too, with all her pomp and pride. should also
prepare to pull up her townsite stakes in
Last Chance and Prickley Pear Valley and
move to the Future Great while corner lots
can be secured within a days march of the
Bird Tail divide. Hauser and Broadwater
combined car hardly hope to hold her
down against the decrease OF destiny.
Charley Cannon should hang out the red
flag and sell his town lots at a discount be-
fore the cyclone catches him. The willy
Woolston should pack his water works
plant and the outfit of his organ and 81.
lently steal away and secure the first fran.
chise. He can get IAN abundant supply OF
pure water" at the Falls. Jim Hill can be re-
lied upon to stock the adjacent ranges with
thoroughbred bulls. and thus furnish the
great Rocky Mountain canal with some
thing to carry on his double-deckers. The
Northern Pacific, out of considerations of
courtesy. will contribute it's share to the
success OF this great (Falls) scheme by
loaning the canal company the use of the
Mullan tunnel as soon as the Butte &
Boxeman Shortline is built.

BURGLARY.
. Thief Who Endeavors to Eject an
Entrance to a Park Street Store Shot
at and Unfortunately Missed.

Shortly before two o'clock this morning
a pistol shot We heard in the vicinity of
Main and Park streets, and a man half
dressed hurriedly came out of the store of
j. D. Thomas and informed the officers that
a burglar had endeavored to effect entrance
to the store through one of the rear
windows. The man who vouchsafed the
information was Frank Miller, an employe
OF Mr.. Thomas, and the only person who
remains in the store after it is closed for
the night. The officers accompanied by a
reporter OF The MINER at once vent to the
store. The bullet had struck III the wall
a few inches from the window, and the
G MADE GOOD HIS ESCAPE.
The window is several feetfrom the ground.
and the man who attempted to effect an
entrance had climbed on to the top of a
shed from which he could easily raise the
sash. On the ground below the footprints
OF the prowler, where he jumped in his
hurried retreat, are plainly marked. There
is no cue as to who the burglar was, and
the only circumstance which occasions re-
greet is that Mr.. Miller's Workmanship wae
not more accurate.
